Sounds like a great day for people watching and just wandering around Downtown,a walk along Saint Catherine (sans auto's) for a couple of hours ,lunch at an outdoor cafe ,..or buy something.........Saint Catherine Street Annual Sidewalk Sale,,,sounds like the Wellington Street Promenade deal.just a largewr scale I guess.Oh well always something to do in Montreal,maybe spend the whole day Downtown & take in some sort of festival later on ......
